Theft of property valued at over $950 constitutes the crime of “grand theft” under California law.

Grand theft is covered under Penal Code section 487.

Grand theft is a crime that can be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances—the differences in penalties are substantial. A misdemeanor grand theft conviction will entail up to one year in jail in a county facility.
